BYU football: Cougars' 2009 schedule released
42 comments | Read story
The bye week also comes at a good time. With a little (or lot of) luck, they beat Oklahoma and are then in a position to run the table.
Hopefully, Bronco completely dissects that TCU video to avoid another fiasco. The other games are all winnable. I'm excited already.
Best idea for Donko might be to just play Riley or Gaskins versus Ok and FSU, that way you have a QB for the conference season. Although I don't think TCU or Utah would be too sad seeing balls coming at them from Max.
Could be a long season for Donko and Maxie.
Run the table? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Donko and Max couldn't do that with the weak schedules they have the last 3 years. So adding Oklahoma and FSU is going to break that trend? Donko would be happy getting out of this season with 4 losses, not including the bowl lose that comes annually.
Can't beat Arizona, Boston College, Tulsa, TCU and Utah the last few years, and a Cougar fan still thinks that with a lot of luck they can "run the table." Wow.
YOU HAVE NO SHOT TO BEAT OKLAHOMA.
This isn't Utah versus Alabama. Or TCU versus OK a few years ago. This is BYU, with one of the slowest and worst secondaries in the nation. Going up against the Heisman winner who is surrounded by a mammoth line and speed everywhere else.
"Quest To Lose By Less Than 40" takes place to start the 2009 season.
"Quest To Not Be 0-3 To Start The Season" takes place shortly after Oklahoma destroys Donko and the Cougs.
And if we're talking history like you are, don't forget the two years previous. Collie's still open. Harline's still open. What?? Old news you say? I agree. Let's keep it to this next year.
Go Cougars! Sweet schedule this next year. Too bad the Utes can't say the same...
It's not a realistic dream, wishing the cougs to win the OK game, but the others are definitely within reach. If they can avoid injuries, they'll learn an awful lot and be prepared for conference. With the tough games all at home this year and all the weapons returning, BYU could realistically go undefeated in conference. TCU is the toughest game, but BYU will be wanting to get revenge and will play with intensity. Can you say 3 titles in 4 years?
And to the Aggie, yeah you'll win in Provo...remind me again what the score was last time you fellas came to town...ow wait...38-0!
One of you out there is right, if the team discounts Utah, TCU and Air Force, just because we have them at home, it could be a long, sad season.
But if the Utes all revel too much in BYU's short-comings of last year, I suspect that mad Max and gang just might have the last laugh.
So, laugh it up. Rub it in. Even with your outstanding season last year, it is still better to be a cougar. Always.
A good year for all Utah teams would be fun to watch.
Hey John and Hans; DJ and PK........what is all this talk today about the BYWHO schedule?? So, with realistic evaluation U all are feeling that 1-2 or 0-3 is what is goin' to happen?! Yipper Skipper
Oh well, Ernest Bass probably says it most accurately!!
Anon at 1:50am...........but the Utes had a team that performed!
And poor Chester Blue------that's what the Donk had the boys doing last year-remember all the talk and the QUEST? They were 'perfecting" everything and dedicating every thing they were doing!
LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
1-2 or 0-3 and plenty of that good ole' Texas Armadillo meat to eat!!! Step up boys there is plenty more where for everyone on the team bus..
You want to drop the cougs from your schedule? If it weren't for BYU, you'd be a div. II school. BYU single-handeldy saved your gave-attendance average last season, keeping you from dropping to a lower classification. I think rather than drop BYU, you should start thanking them for even playing you guys, when they could have rescheduled ASU later in the season after that game was dropped. Oh wait, you probably just want BYU to play in Logan every single game, just like basketball (5 of last 9 in the Spectrum). When it comes time to play in Provo, the Ags want to stop the series, but when we play up in Logan, the Ags think they're on the top of the world.
Yes, it's all about money, but do you know how much BYU brought to USU last season up in Logan? BYU brought 15,000 fans up to Logan...just imagine ticket revenues and concessions. It's in USU's best interest to keep playing BYU, even if they get slaughtered each year. I'm looking forward to yet another Aggie massacre this year.
I truly am jealous of the Cougar schedule this year. It is awesome. But there are other interpretations to the fact that you are playing Oklahoma this year. Teams like to schedule you because you can ride on the coatails of what you did 25 years ago, and they know that there is no chance of actually losing the game. It is a win/win for them. They get to kill a team that people remember having a good team from a long time ago. "BYU is good right? Steve Young went to school there right? Well, truth be told I couldn't tell you the name of two quarterbacks west of Nebraska." Just playing respectable teams does not make you respectable. Heck, USU played Oklahoma recently, does that mean that they are one of the top programs in the country? Don't dilude yourself. You are on the schedule because it is a guaranteed W.
Turnovers = Lost Games
Lost Games = Losers
Max Hall = Loser
GO UTES!!! Utah #1
No Northern Iowa This Year?
